Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 70

Clarence stood up and said in a flat tone, “I will give you three days to consider about this. You can tell me what else you want. If you miss this opportunity, you will not be able to get what you want again.”

He stopped when he walked to the door and said slowly, “If you can make your decision earlier, you brother would not have given up his promising future for only one million.”

Stella bit her lower lip tightly with a pair of red-rimmed eyes. She was trying so hard to suppress the impulse to shed tears.

After Clarence’s leaving, Stella pulled out the infusion needle on the back of her hand.

She walked towards the entrance of the hospital while calling Sherry. She learned from Sherry that Channing had resigned from the convenience store and that Channing was nowhere to be found.

When Sherry met with Stella, she was startled by Stella’s pale face and red-rimmed eyes. She asked, “Stella, what’s wrong with you?”

Stella shook her head, “Let’s find Chan first.”

When it was getting dark, they finally got in touch with Channing. Stella asked in a calm voice, “Chan, where are you now?”

“I’m having a military training.”

“Give me your address.”

Channing, who was at the other end of the phone, was silent for a while, “The school doesn’t allow outsiders to come in during the military training.”

“Give me the contact method of your teacher or military instructor. I will have a talk with them.”

Stella felt extremely tired. She repeated the question, “Chan, where are you?”

Actually, Channing found a job in the vicinity of University A. He thought that if Stella came to the university to find him later, he could lie to her that he was having a part-time job here and he thought that Stella wouldn’t doubt it.

But he hadn’t expected that Stella would find out the truth so soon.

After a long while, Channing replied, “Stay there. I will go to find you.”

While waiting for Channing, Sherry learned from Stella about the whole thing and she didn’t know how to console her at the moment.

Sherry knew that Jeffrey was a despicable person. Stella and Channing had been supporting each other since childhood and Sherry was clear that Channing was the most important person for Stella. Now Channing gave up his promising future and sold his admission letter to University A to the other person, no wonder that Stella would be so anxious and angry.

Half an hour later, Channing arrived at Stella’s house.

Thinking that it would not be suitable for her to stay here under such circumstance, Sherry found an excuse, saying that she had to go out to buy something, and left.

Stella took out the bank card that Channing gave her before and put it on the table, “Is it because of Jeffrey?”

Stella suspected it was because of her father’s debt because Channing happened to give the card to her after Adolph came here to ask her to pay the debt.

Channing just stood on the spot. He didn’t ask Stella how she knew about this and simply said, “I’m afraid that they will not let go of us easily. They have no moral bottom lines and they can do everything to achieve their goals. I think that even if there’s an emergency, you may protect yourself with the money in your card.”

“Chan…”

Channing said in a relaxed tone, “It’s good that you didn’t use the money to pay Jeffrey’s debt. I’ve told you that I will support your life. Although there’s not too much money in the card, it can support your life for a period of time. Later, I will…”

Stella interrupted him, “Chan, you gave up the admission letter to University A, do you know what it means to you?

Channing paused and then replied, “You also gave up the opportunity to study in Paris, didn’t you?”

“I gave up the chance before and I know deep down what I’ve missed, so I don’t want you to regret it.”

“I won’t regret it. Even if I can’t study in the university, I can still…”

“You’re just 18 years old. What do you want to do if you don’t go to the university?” Stella fixed her eyes on the card in front of her, “There’s no point to return this card to that person now, right?”

Channing nodded his head.

One million was nothing in the eyes of those rich people. But for them, the deal had been closed and Channing wouldn’t have the chance to regret it.

Stella said, “I will solve this. Chan, wait for my news.”

Channing subconsciously furrowed his brows, “How are you going to solve it?”

“I will make a way out. Chan, please remember, don’t give up your future for the sake of me or the other person. If… If I successfully solve this problem, I hope it will be the end of this matter and that you can come back to the university.”

Channing still wanted to say something, but Stella interrupted him, “Let’s stop here today. I want to have a sleep now. You shall come back earlier.”

When Channing walked to the door, he seemed to have sensed something fishy and turned around and said to Stella, “This’s my choice and I can bear the consequence. You don’t need to beg him.”

Stella curled her lips into a light smile, “Who tell you that I want to beg him? It’s just a normal transaction.”

“What transaction?”

“It’s a matter between adults. You should just focus your study.”

Channing was rendered speechless.

…

When Sherry came back, she saw Stella sitting on the sofa and seeming to be lost in her thoughts.

She walked over and asked in a low voice, “Stella, did you make it clear with Chan?”

Stella was pulled back to reality, “Almost. I will go to find Clarence tomorrow. There will be no problem.”

“Will Clarence help you? I will have to appreciate his mercy if he doesn’t laugh at you.”

Stella was stunned. After several seconds, she replied, “Maybe he will.”

After finishing the words, she stood up and said, “Sherry, I’m a bit sleep and I have to go to bed now.”

“Okay, good now.” Sherry seemed to think of something and continued, “You should go to the hospital to have a pregnancy examination two days later. Let me go with you.”

Stella paused. She didn’t turn around and simply replied in a low voice, “Let’s talk about this later.”

Stella went back to her bedroom. When she opened the wardrobe and was about to take out some clothes for changing, she uncontrollably looked aside.

She then took out all the small clothes and small shoes and sat down on the bed. She studied them for a long while.

Even since she learned about the existence of this child, Stella had never expected that Clarence would be mercy to it and she had expected every possible attitude that Clarence would have. But when this really came, she finally realized what she was afraid of the most.

She lost a child when she was pregnant for four months last time.

Maybe this was the destiny.

If this child was aborted, she and Clarence would not have any relationship again.

On the next day, Stella took the document given by Clarence to the Conrad Group.

When she arrived at the company, she saw Modesty quarreling with a receptionist, “Why the designers of SG Jewelry Magazine are allowed to enter the company? Why wasn’t there such a rule when I came here last time?”

The receptionist replied politely, “I’m sorry, Lady, I’m not clear of the details.”

“If you’re not clear of it, why don’t you make a phone call and ask about it? I come to Mr. Conrad from some business.”

“Mr. Conrad has an important meeting today. No one is allowed to bother him.”

“You…”

Modesty was so furious. When she planned to come here next time, she turned around and saw Stella standing not far away from her.

Modesty involuntarily bit her lower lip. Why was Stella here? Could it be that she regretted giving up this opportunity?

She wanted to walk over. But at the next moment, she saw a man coming out and taking Stella into the company.

Modesty widened her eyes and then questioned the receptionist, “She’s also a designer of SG Jewelry Magazine, why can she enter the company?”

“Miss, she enters the company following Mr. Lance. And we have no right to stop her.”

Modesty clenched her fists tightly, yet she had no other choice and could only leave.
